Yeah, unfortunately he does sell actual homeopathy. It's weird because otherwise he's really good with things like cat behaviour, human behaviour, environmental stresses and seeing things from the cat's POV, but then actual homeopathy.

[(Anonymous)]

That'd be a big "thanks but nah" from me, then. Homeopathy is such blatant woo woo bullshit designed to part fools and their money that I'd never be able to trust him on anything else. At best, he's got poor judgment. At worst, he's a charlatan, selling water to gullible people who need real help.

I just want to chime in, as someone with "family" working with homeopathy and reiki, some people genuinely do believe it. I thought it was a rich/upper middle-class thing tho ngl, I'm very surprised Jackson Galaxy is into it.


My mom tried to treat her cat with homeopathy some hack recommended to her because she didn't want him to be "drowsy" from regular medication (he had epilepsy), idk where people get these ideas. Though if people here say that Jackson Galaxy still strongly supports regular medicine then I think I can overlook it.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, I don't doubt that there are people who sincerely believe it - that's what I'd categorize as poor judgment...and ignorance, and lack of critical thinking skills. Stuff like reiki might be a granola thing which is more upper middle class, but it's based on ignorance and gullibility, which transcends socio-economic classes.

IMO, the fact that he does recommend actual medical treatment doesn't mitigate it. Unless I misunderstand, you don't take homeopathic treatments if you're fine. You take it because you have a problem. If Galaxy is acting like homeopathy is a legit option, then he's selling snake oil to people who need real medicine. It's NOT a legitimate treatment on par with seeing a vet.

I dont see him trying to actually cure diseases though? Like for actual anxiety disorders, heart disease, and stuff like that, the audience sees him assessing the situation and demanding a vet get involved and medications being prescribed.

'Your cat will probably like this combination of herbal scents and it will have a beneficial effect on his mood' is not nearly the same thing, and isn't even really anti-science, though the marketing probably woos it up some, because rich people love that.

Yeah that's the impression I always got? Like I haven't seen a lot of his stuff, but the bits of eps I have seen, he's been pretty sensible about, "Okay I think you need to bring them to the vet because there's potentially something medical going on here." when need be.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, he consistently tells owners to take the cat to the vet to have it checked out if the other attempts to get it to change its behavior aren't working. He outright says that one of the biggest causes of cats acting out is untreated medical issues, so...
